FIRE MANAGEMENT PLAN 2008 Lassen-Modoc Unit Critical Issues, Listed by Community/Subdivision Modoc Recreational Estates: Pursue grant funding to improve Mallard Road from Pintail Road to the corner of Mallard and Hilltop for the purpose of annexation to the county road system. The road is listed on the Fire Plan as the alternative escape route for residents and access for emergency vehicles. Clear brush from the right-of-way on both sides of roads maintained by MREA; as well as Pencil and Pintail roads, which are county maintained roads. The Association is currently responsible to maintain six miles of road. Trim juniper trees on private property so branches are at least six feet off the ground to prevent the laddering effect of a fire moving into the forest crown and remove brush from directly under juniper that would cause a ladder effect. Purchase a chipper, which would be available to property owners to mulch the waste from clearing operations named above. Big Valley (Lookout) Ranchettes: Reduce fuel loads in Big Valley Ranchettes on absentee landowner’s properties. Provide information about private contractors that do defensible space work. Assist in the acquisition of equipment, i.e. chipper/shredding machines, to process bio-mass produced by fuels reduction projects. Secure grant funding to support fuels reduction/ space cost share programs on private property. Butte Creek (Big Valley): Develop an alternative evacuation route by improving an existing “four wheel drive” road. Thoms Creek Unit II Property Owners Association: Clear brush on both sides of Association maintained roads. Currently, the Association maintains approximately 2.5 miles of road. Trim juniper trees so limbs are six feet off the ground to prevent the laddering effect of a brush fire moving into the forest crown. Remove bitter brush and sage from directly under junipers that might create fire ladder effect. Purchase a community chipper so residents could use tree limbs/brush for mulch. Work with Modoc County to annex 1.5 miles of South Warner Mountain Drive into the county road system. This would allow the road to be better maintained in summer and winter improving access for emergency vehicles. Modoc County Community Wildfire Protection Plan/Revised May 2008 85
FIRE MANAGEMENT PLAN 2008 Lassen-Modoc Unit Surprise Valley-Lake City: Develop a community outreach and education program to alert Lake City residents about the danger of wildfire to the town. Develop projects to mitigate wild-fire risk including fuel breaks on adjacent public lands and defensible space projects on private property. Design an evacuation plan. Ensure that current and new residents are provided with the evacuation plan. Facilitate the development of a strategic mutual-aid response plan specific to threats of wildfire to Lake City: including approach routes, identifying water resources, and defining tactical roles of mutual aid responding agencies, i.e., Cedarville Fire Department and Fort Bidwell resources. Surprise Valley-Eagleville/Emerson Creek: Ensure that water tanker re-filling standpipes are along established roads and accessible year round. Construct and maintain a fuel break adjacent to residential areas on Emerson Creek. Likely: Provide assistance to landowners in removing debris and dilapidated buildings that may carry wildfire into the community. Evaluate wildfire risk to properties along County Road # 60. Likely-Juniper Acres: Educate the residents as to the fire dangers. Promote and insist on a defensible space around residences. Clear a firebreak perimeter. Install a water line from the Pit River across Jess Valley Road to a standpipe at the entrance to Juniper Acres. Likely-Pine Shadow Village: Establish a fuel Break on Modoc National Forest Service adjacent lands within the WUI. Coordinate with Modoc National Forest on an area fire prevention plan. Assist with defensible space projects for senior and disabled citizens on private lands. Cal Pines: Establish a fuel break around the Hill Units subdivision. Encourage safety by requesting and assisting private landowners to reduce fuel loads on their property including cleaning up slash piles from logging operations.
